I am a graphic and web designer, writer and editor who does illustration casually on the side under the pseudonym Neal Teak. This site is not linked to my professional site because it's just for fun. I sketch, it keeps my creative mind alive, and part of me will always regret not following my high school dream of becoming an animator. I have fun with my sketchbook, and, if you're bothering to glance through these images, I hope you do too. Cheers.
